Cold Comfort

Well, the office is still freezing, but I'm in quite a good mood. Had a gorgeous, relaxing weekend and really didn't want to come back to work yesterday. Work is incredibly boring at the moment, but I suppose they pay me quite well and the people are nice, so it could be worse. Yep, that's me being positive. Don't faint with shock.

I am, even more shockingly, quite looking forward to the festive season now, but only because of being allowed to drink lots and eat chocolate for breakfast. And I get the time between Xmas Eve and 2nd January off work so it's a free holiday too. And I really need a holiday!

We get paid next Wednesday, although most of our cash goes towards bloody Christmas presents, but then we get paid again the day before Xmas Eve which, of course, is our 1st wedding anniversary. And, almost as momentously, the 1st anniversary of this blog. So we are going to go out for dinner to celebrate not only that (the wedding thing, not the blog thing, duh!) but also the fact that 23rd December also marks the date on which, if my calculations are right (and they always are because I used to work for an investment bank), we will finally be properly solvent again.

Yep, the credit cards will all be back within limit, the loans will be up to date, the bills will be sorted, and He and I will have some decent spending money for the first time in over a year.

Ironic, or perhaps symbolic, that it should happen on our anniversary. I think maybe someone's trying to tell us something.
